Thanks from a coach who's overwhelmed

July 17, 2013
I need to say this, please print it.

The North Boise All Stars, from the players, to the coaches, to the parents were first class all the way. We really bonded with them and shared a great experience.

After the awards ceremony the President of North Boise Little League, Richard Rene, grabbed the microphone and after several nice words about our team, challenged all the North Boise parents to open their wallets and check books and help send us to California.

We sat there in awe as parents, coaches, and fans handed us money ... when all was done they had donated right there, on the spot, $535 dollars to help fund our trip.

We could not believe it ... A HUGE THANK YOU to North Boise Little League ... you have no idea how much your kindness and generosity has meant to us.

Our community has been great, the amount of phone calls, messages, texts, etc. has been absolutely incredible.

Many people are making great efforts to help us raise the money needed for our trip. All donations can be made to Panhandle State Bank under Boundary County Little League. You may contact Cal Bateman (208) 627-3405 with any questions.

THANK YOU Bonners Ferry, we feel your support. We have an amazing community who has proven themselves over and over what great lengths they will go to to support the kids.
Cal Bateman
Head Coach
